VN's with heroines that have sad routes?

[_Loud_Lord_]

I played Katawa Shoujo and Fruit of Grisaia and I absolutely love the fact that through out the game we learn about the problems the girls have, they're sad pasts and we help them recover and move on. So any can anyone recommend me some VN's like this since I'm pretty new to the whole VN thing.

Seriously, pickup and buy Clannad this second (and a box of tissues while you're at it). Has quite a lot of themes that will smack you in the heart.

Other suggestions....

* Eden . The setting for the VN speaks for itself...

* ef - a fairy tale of the two . Various relationships, which are all somehow interconnected. Packs serious emotional feels later on too...

* Kono Oozora . Quite a lot more light hearted then the other picks. But you're still helping girls move forward in their lives. Has some breathtaking flight scenes.

* Symphonic Rain . Interesting setting, and some plot twists.

THIS. And hurry before Steam Sale ends - regular price is rather on the high side.

As for the recommendations, I would like to seconded both of ef and Symphonic Rain here. For other recommendation, maybe you can try Air since the ending of that is quite sad for some people. Other than Air, I can recommend something like either Shinikiss or Dal Segno here. I hope my recommendations will be helpful to you there.

Grisaia no Kajitsu... However I wouldn't recommend Michirus route because you will get angry at the MC
